The Swing of Things

Or, at least, trying to get back into it.

So here's where the current build stands, because no one wants to hear about any of that other stuff. The framework is all in place, with the exception of a few of the reward options, which are mostly variable-based anyway, so not really difficult to implement. The writing for about half of the stuff still needs to be done, which is what's really killing me: for some reason, I just can't seem to actually write anything. I know how the scenes are supposed to go, but I just can't seem to get my brain to actually write them. I'm still pecking away at it.

In the meantime, let's talk about Britney (Brittany, Brittaney)'s mission, shall we?

The idea is simple: Maria wants you to help her. But the idea of help is poorly defined at best. It's obvious when you meet her that the girl has two things she likes doing: drinking, and fucking. Maybe Maria meant for you to dissuade her from those paths, or maybe she meant for you to encourage one of them. Choice is yours.

Once you finally get an invite to Brit's apartment, you're almost done with the mission (originally, it was going to take several visits, but then I realized that that would be pushing the time limit set out for the mission). If you've taken to encouraging drinking or sex, the choice should be obvious, and in some cases, might be made for you: a timer starts as soon as you enter her apartment, increasing your arousal or working against your (temporary, hidden) willpower. If the timer runs long enough, the "prevailing" choice will be made for you, and then it's over.

Alternatively, you can try to encourage Brit to raise her self-esteem, which also culminates in one visit, but it's quite as straight-forward as you might think. You can still easily screw up here, and doing so means that you've pretty much failed at your chosen goal.

And there's a couple of other possible outcomes, mostly if you decide to disrespect privacy or otherwise choose to be a creeper. You may or may not like these outcomes.

Once the mission is complete - and, by the by, any of the above-mentioned outcomes is acceptable for determining whether or not the mission is complete - Maria, of course, shows up and gauges your efforts. The outcome you get determines whether she's happy or upset, and it's not likely to be for the reasons you're thinking.

As should be pretty obvious by now, Brit does have some magic of her own, which can factor in to how the mission plays out. And whether or not Brit sticks around for you to interact with later is also determined by what you do and how the mission ends.

And all of that is factored into Brit's ending at the end of the game.

So it's kind of complex, and I am working on it. Still not dead. Just gotta get back into the swing of things and write some stuff.

  2. Good to have you back. Don't try straining yourself, ease yourself into the groove of things. I'm pretty sure the people who are patient are more than those who are not or just trolling.

  4. Whoo! Good to hear you're back at it. I've always loved this game, and more content and missions just means it's even better! But don't rush to get it out there. Take as long as you need. Your work is quality stuff, and that takes time. :)

  5. Ah, I decided to create a profile here just so I could tell you what an awesome job you're doing with this game...it's really cool, creative, and I just love it, ehee...

    I am also sorry to hear about your real life problems, and although I cannot do much, or even really help you, I would like you to know that I honestly hope that you get through them...I wish you all the best. Good luck. You can do it!

  6. If the writing is giving you trouble, is there any chance you could outsource it? I can't write for shit, but I know a half dozen people I could probably talk into it. They wouldn't even need an unlocked file, just submit the text.

    1. This. With a game of this style, more content is almost definitely better and having the community fill in the gaps for Anonymous Man would probably be the best route to achieve that.

      Examples:
      -Anonymous Man handles the main story interactions and anything involving Maria, as well as any new job content
      -The community adds:
      *More transformations and transformation interactions
      *More sex toys
      *More furniture
      *Etc.

      In short, Anonymous Man pulls a Fenoxo, focusing on the "spine" of the game, while the community fills out the details.

  7. so exciting to hear you are getting back to it again, we would love to help you add more stuff, like sex toys and other items... perhaps also story and other content...

    fx instead of having just one black dildo, we could have different sex toys to impregnate with each their own 'demon' say a demonic dick dildo for our beloved fenoxian... a giant tongue dildo for succibus, a snake dildo for the naga, and something like an octopus like dildo for the tentacle beast (my favorite and i really want to see it and tentacle action)

    anyways, i am happy to have you back

  9. Meh, I like the random chance of the black dildo. Keep it how it is.

    Personally, I think it would be kind of cool to add people hitting on your character depending on how "slutty" you are dressed, or how attractive you are, or if you are currently a Bimbo (maybe people insulting your intelligence but trying to sleep with you more) and Party Girl...people inviting you to go out places (calling YOU for a change) <-- or maybe that happening more in general. And have more night time activities aside from just walking and the Bar. ^_^

    1. Hell, maybe even making consequences of pushing those stereotypes like if you look like a Bimbo and have a lot of sex...your intelligence starts to wain and you start talking like a valley girl or something. <-- just using the bimbo one as an example.

    2. oh we can keep the black dildo with the random chance for each, i was just wanting some specific toys for the specific demons to get what we want easier...

      in any case, i would really want to see if the tentacle beast really exist...

  10. Take from this what encouragement you will, but I've been dropping by to see if the game's updated every day for the better part of a year. I can't think of any other site/game I do that with.

  11. I just came up with a idea just now Anon.Man, in the game when you become a Call Girl from going down the Hooker path at the strip club, and when you make an effort to catch the flowers from the bride at a wedding, you day dream about going down the isle with a man that your character is about to marry, I was thinking maybe you could put this in and allow players to choose the name of that man and what he looks like as well.

  12. Hey! I'm glad to see you are still working on this. Your game is a big inspiration - I know a lot of people are waiting for improvements.

    Just letting you know that when you sit down and stare at screens that might look blank to you - the content of the game still brings a lot to us at the end. If you just take it slow it'll happen.

    Still looking forward to a better cheat tool and a Succubus arc!

I really want to see what will happen if you play with the mermaid and maybe even actually forming a relationship in the game that would pretty cool to and whatever else u may add in over time. so again great work! keep it up! and take your time!
